Feed the new belt around all the pulleys, tensioner etc in the correct pattern. Leave belt off alternator pulley for now. Place a 15mm wrench on the belt tensioner (tensioner is on the top left side of engine next to the large coolant hose where it gose to the top of the water pump). Stand on the drivers side and reach across and pull the tensioner towards you. Slide belt on to the alternator pulley. Release tensioner. Follow/view belt to verify that it's alligned correctly. Remove wrench from tensioner....Done.

brooklync5,
I would actually take it into the shop for this if you're concerned about the noise. This could be any number of things. Hopefully it's not the harmonic balancer. Let us know what you find out.
